 Signature block.

If you have been sewing along on any of the Quilt Along events, you will have seen that some of the designers releasing a signature block during the event.

What is a signature block?

It is a block, that you can sew and embroider with your details on it. You can use this as your quilt label and you can send this block to the designer, who collects all of these blocks from all over the world to make into a memory quilt for themselves.

Do I have to make one?

Absolutely not. This is a special request, and is not compulsory at all. We would love to get one though, it makes such a nice memory to add into a quilt.

What do I do?

Download the pattern. Sew it up. And embroider / stencil your name, where you are from and the #FBQAL2 somewhere on the block and send it off to the address that is printed on the pattern. Easy peazy.

Ezra Bridger Star Wars Rebels

Star Wars Rebels

A new pattern for the Star Wars collection is here.

This pattern was inspired by my little nephew who loves Star Wars Rebels, the cartoon.

He especially loves Ezra Bridger.

Ezra Bridger

 Designed & tested by Vanda Chittenden
Paper Piecing
15.5" x 26" including seam allowance

Ezra Bridger grew up as a street urchin on the planet Lothal, and soon discovered that he was force sensitive. He joined a rebel crew on the Ghost and started his apprecticeship to become a Jedi at a young age.

The size of the pattern is perfect for the front of a pillowcase, as shown in the photo above. I did not include instructions for the pillowcase. You can find many different tutorials out there for pillowcases.
My favorite is from Jennifer Ofenstein at Sewhooked, it is called "Hotdog! A pillowcase."
There is a pdf and a video tutorial. Go check it out.

Till next time.

Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along - Week 3

Welcome to week three of our Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along!

Block descriptions from text by J.K. Rowling. Learn more at Pottermore 
& from Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them.

For general information and fabric requirements, please look at the bottom of the post, below the patterns.

Block 11

Diricawl - Level 2
Also known as a Dodo

10 x 10" paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Amber Lowery

The Diricawl originated in Mauritius. A plump-bodied, fluffy-feathered, flightless bird, the Diricawl is remarkable for its method of escaping danger. It can vanish in a puff of feathers and reappear elsewhere.

Interestingly, Muggles were once fully aware of the existence of the Diricawl, though they knew it by the name of “dodo.” Unaware that the Diricawl could vanish at will, Muggles believe they have hunted the species to extinction. As this seems to have raised Muggle awareness of the dangers of slaying their fellow creatures indiscriminately, the International Confederation of Wizards has never deemed it appropriate that the Muggles should be made aware of the continued existence of the Diricawl.

 Block 12

Chizpurfle - Level 2

10 x 10" paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Amber Lowery

Chizpurfles are small parasites up to a twentieth of an inch high, crablike in appearance, with large fangs. They are attracted by magic and may infest the fur and feathers of such creatures as Crups and Augureys. They will also enter wizard dwellings and attack magical objects such as wands, gradually gnawing their way through to the magical core, or else settle in dirty cauldrons, where they will gorge upon any lingering drops of potion. Though Chizpurfles are easy enough to destroy with any of a number of patented potions on the market, severe infestations may require a visit from the Pest Sub-Division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, as Chizpurfles swollen with magical substances will prove very hard to fight.

Block 13

Billywig - Level 3

10 x 10" applique pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Carlita Brown

The Billywig is an insect native to Australia. It is around half an inch long and a vivid sapphire blue, although its speed is such that it is rarely noticed by Muggles and often not by wizards until they have been stung. The Billywig’s wings are attached to the top of its head and are rotated very fast so that it spins as it flies. At the bottom of the body is a long thin sting. Those who have been stung by a Billywig suffer giddiness followed by levitation. Generations of young Australian witches and wizards have attempted to catch Billywigs and provoke them into stinging in order to enjoy these side effects, though too many stings may cause the victim to hover uncontrollably for days on end, and where there is a severe allergic reaction, permanent floating may ensue. Dried Billywig stings are used in several potions and are believed to be a component in the popular sweet Fizzing Whizbees.

Block 14

Unicorn - Level 4

10" paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance
(use pages 3-5 for 10" pattern)

Designed by Jennifer Ofenstein

Tested by Jennifer Ofenstein

The unicorn is a beautiful beast found throughout the forests of northern Europe. It is a pure white, horned horse when fully grown, though the foals are initially golden, and turn silver before achieving maturity. The unicorn’s horn, blood, and hair all have highly magical properties. It generally avoids human contact, is more likely to allow a witch to approach it than a wizard, and is so fleet of foot that it is very difficult to capture.

Block 15

Abraxan - Level 5

 10 x 10" paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Amber Lowery

Winged horses exist worldwide. There are many different breeds, including the Abraxan (immensely powerful giant palominos).

Stars

Star

2 x 2" excluding seam allowance

Paper Pieced

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Amber Lowery

Once put together the sashing will be 2 x 10" excluding seam allowance

It is your choice where you want your stars to show up. Example below.

The layout at the end of the quilt along, allows for the stars to be on any side of each beast. 

Or just leave the stars out, it is absolutely your choice.

Signature Block Pattern.

Signature Block 2016 #fbqal

If you've participated in events like this with us before, then you know about  the signature blocks! I'd like to invite everyone participating in the 2016 Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along to share a block for a special 2016 Signature Quilt. This quilt is my way of remembering everyone that quilted along in 2016.

You can send your signature block at any time, you do not need to finish the whole quilt first.

Hand or machine embroidery, printed fabric, fabric pen, marker, or stenciled with fabric paint/pen, etc. are all acceptable. Please, no iron-ons or transfers.

You can use any scraps from your bins for this block. 

General information!

All beasts are rated from 1* to 5***** in danger levels. 
Reminder! You do not have to make all the patterns, choose which ones you like.
With every beast pattern, the danger level will be shown. If you choose to do the paper pieced star sashing, you can find the pattern below the beasts patterns.
The pattern pieces is not colored in, they have been left blank so that you can choose your own colors. A color chart has been provided for a reference.
